Well, the typical COMDAT symbols (ignoring side cases) needs to be put into
binary/library only if they are actually used, as all the other DSOs will define
them too if they are used there.
So it is valid to optimize out COMDAT after you optimized out all its uses. This
commonly happens at linktime.
